http: provide effective url to callers
When we ask curl to access a URL, it may follow one or more redirects to reach the final location. We have no idea this has happened, as curl takes care of the details and simply returns the final content to us. The final URL that we ended up with can be accessed via CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL. Let's make that optionally available to callers of http_get_*, so that they can make further decisions based on the redirection. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <>
